New Monitoring and Profiling Interface

eXist Solutions GmbH today released eXist LTS version 2.1.6. Since the introduction of Long Term Support (LTS) in January 2014 this is already the 6th quality release of cherry-picked improvements. LTS releases contain all important fixes and enhancements from the develop branch of eXist while maintaining full backwards compatibility within the 2.1 production-ready branch. 

eXist LTS addresses the needs of enterprise-scale users that require a reliable and supported version of the open source version. With LTS, customers can easily stay up to date without taking the risk of building from the development branch, which may break existing code or introduce untested features.

Apart from various bug fixes, LTS 2.1.6 focuses on query performance and improvements to the backup system. 

eXist LTS is available as a subscription at http://exist-db.org. Subscribers may download version 2.1.6 from the Customer Portal.

eXist LTS 2.1.5 was released today by eXist Solutions GmbH. This bugfix release mainly addresses an issue where a user accounts was not properly reloaded during restore. When restoring from a backup, the internal cache for user accounts was not updated which led to restore failures ("wrong admin password" and other errors).

The release was preponed in favor to the upcoming eXist LTS 2.1.6 release to ensure the stability of our customers production systems.

As always the eXist LTS 2.1.5 release is via the LTS Customer Portal.

With the development release of eXist 2.2.RC1 eXist Solutions has updated its LTS (Long Term Support) edition of eXist to version 2.1.2. The LTS release is for those commercial customers running eXist in production and contains all critical bug fixes from 2.2.RC1, but without the new features, which still require more testing. 2.1.2 LTS is fully backwards compatible with 2.1 LTS.

eXist Solutions is happy to announce a new subscription offer of eXist-db along with complementary support packages, which are now available for order through the eXist-db homepage. The subscription - called eXist-db LTS - is a quality-assured distribution of eXist-db which is guaranteed to be maintained for at least 2 years for each major release.

While it is based on exactly the same Open Source code base, we want to make sure our customers build their applications on a stable foundation and benefit from the latest bug fixes and improvements without the risks of using a development version. LTS releases are provided at a higher frequency than the major releases and include cherry picked changes from the development branch. LTS versions within a major branch will all be backwards compatible.

The new support packages extend the LTS Subscription with a Service Level Agreement to guarantee a quick resolution of any issues or questions which may arise. Support covers all aspects of the application lifecycle from development via deployment to production.

The new services are backed by a larger team, which now also includes the developers of betterFORM, thus comprising the best competence available in backend and frontend development of XML-based applications.

With this announcement, eXist 2.1.1 LTS is made available to all subscribers. As part of the LTS service, we will continue to port critical changes back to the 2.1.x LTS branch for two years.
